Its very difficult to live with. Some hate meds because the highs are so fun and if you are a creative person (most are) you do loose some of that ability. There is also sexual side effects and people that are Bi-Polar tend ot be very sexually active with great sex lifes.
Its not easy. If you understand the disorder and study the effects and what to expect when you are high or low, you can live without any meds and use the great times to huge advantages. They low times, if you feel them coming on, you can fight them. It also takes a good group of supporting friends that will kick you in the ass when you are down.
My younger brother sufferes from it and he has learned to battle it, without meds and has done very well for himself. Control it, dont let it control you. Take advantage of the ups... and fight the downs.
